Making Eternal Investments
"For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him." Psalms 49:17 NKJV
I heard the story of a man who willed that he be buried with all his money. Well, his wife wrote him a cheque for him to cash all his money! What a smart woman.
My pastor in Assemblies of God Church, Ijede, years ago, used to say that he wore his new clothes as soon as he got them so that he would be the first to wear them, instead of unbelievers, should rapture happen suddenly. Funny, right?
Here's the point: whether we leave the world by death or through the rapture, we will leave without all these things we are struggling so hard to accumulate. Then, even gold would be worthless; in heaven the streets are paved with gold! Live therefore with understanding. Pursue what matters most. Set your affections on things above. Store your treasures in heaven. Make eternal investments.
